Learned how to husk and split a coconut with a machete, then I did it on my own without a machete. Went snorkeling with Dennis, Derek, Mike, Andrea, Norm and Tara and Norm caught a 5ft. long king mackerel and Catie and I saw several sharks while snorkeling.

We heard gunshots during the evening while sitting around the fire while Derek and Ana were away while there was no electricity. A perimeter sweep by Dennis, Norm and Mike found that there were people in the jungle who were whistling to one another.

Found out a lot of disturbing information:

People were regularly robbed by a person wielding a machete while walking through the jungle at night, some of whom were tied to a tree and several other persons had been recently robbed of all their money and id.
